This local roaster has been commended for their commitment to quality sourcing, environmentally friendly practices, and onsite roasting at their new headquarters which is part roastery and part cafe . Read more

My favorites for mornings are the Green Hornet, Bull Frog, Bacon Biscuit , or any of their Quiches and of course the Fruit .

Brooke Harding

Great coffee and food options. Lots of space to sit, and even a parking lot for guests.

Phil Berghuis

The pretzels with spicy mustard make for an awesome snack , but they go quickly.

John Scholtes

I love the Ham & Rocket #9 sandwich . The coffee is pretty good too. They roast it right there.

Dan R

Be careful standing up from the tables. I just saw a woman bonk her head on a light. Granted, she looked extremely hipster doing it, due to her kewl reaction, but still, tuck and roll, my babies.

Kati S

Love their selection of teas and also their creamy chicken mushroom soup

Claudine Lienau

Great mocha and the cucumber cream cheese is great on a nicely toasted bagel .

Chad Huibregtse

Try the espresso of the week. It costs the same as the regular stuff and it's always good.

Anne Sorensen

There's a line outside of the door right now and good luck to get a place to sit. A bit too small of a space to be this busy

Jessica Jacobs

If you get the "Milwaukee's Best Brownie ," make sure you have someone to share it with! It's a brick of a brownie :)

Mikky J. Wright

Excellent and well-cared for coffee . Be prepared to wait extra long, they don't use more than one head on the espresso machine at a time.

Erik Martinez

Nicaragua coffee always the best. Iced dark chocolate mochas are amazing

Food & Wine

Alterra opened its first café in 1993, and has since expanded to 12 locations serving its signature thick and creamy espresso .

Marilyn Welniak

Get the Iced Chai in the summer.. or any time.. and ask for it with a shot of vanilla !

Carly

Very kind workers, always make you feel comfortable !

Nate Ridgeway

Killer White Bean Soup , and the Alterra Organic Free Trade coffee is fantastic!

Maria L

Amazing coffee and a good place to hang out. Try their raspberry muffins !

Check out the architecture . It's like a playground for grownups. Swings and all.

Ina Langen

Almond croissants to die for....service, not so much...atmosphere makes up for that!

Dan Jessup

Ethiopian blend , brownies AND parking !? Believe it.

Dan R

Bring a portfolio folder, and some old glossy technical flier, to make your own window blind to shield your screen from the glare.

Sev Anderson

Love the coffee but the mochas need more chocolate and the espresso tastes burnt.

Sasha Martinez-de Groot

It seems like the expresso shake is the most inconsistant drink they make here, never know how it'll turn out each time you order it.

Rafael Garcia Ribeiro

Very beautiful place, great coffee !

Dan R

Butter and touch-screens do not mix well . Please bagel responsibly. [via twitter @ebsewi]
